Stretch Your Dollar with Steel Deals As steel prices continue to rise worldwide, industry insiders attribute the surge to increased raw material costs in the international market. In fact, the country's top iron ore negotiator, China Iron and Steel Association (CISA), expects foreign iron ore miners to seek a 20-30% increase for 2010. Now more than ever, you can save by purchasing surplus prime or Less-Than-Prime© (LTP) steel.

If you're interested in getting the best steal deals around, Texas Iron & Metal can help you find just what you're looking for. With a complete inventory and new deals coming in every day, you get more metal for your money from Texas Iron & Metal. You want it, we've got it -- now that's supply on demand.

But what she can do with metal is more than welding... it's pure artistry. Even more surprising, she didn't begin welding until age 50. 'I guess it keeps me young,' she says. 'Because I'm doing something I truly love.'
